Eleven Hundred Springs' "Bandwagon" Moves On Charts
AUSTIN, TX (ContentDesk) September 9, 2004 -- Texas country band Eleven Hundred Springs is getting airplay on national and satellite radio and is climbing the Americana and Texas Music charts with its new recording, "Bandwagon" (Palo Duro Records, July 27).Austin's KVET AM-FM Radio DJ Jay Vise sent word to the band that the station is "playing the hell out of" the memorable cut "Why You Been Gone So Long" ? written by country music legend Mickey Newberry ? and called it the "best-sounding thing in a long time."The track features one of the band's greatest inspirations, Ronnie Dawson, who recorded the original version of "Why You Been Gone So Long" with Hillyer in July 1993. Dawson, who passed away last year, can be heard on this remastered version.Eleven Hundred Springs owes its sound as much to the classic swell of driving pedal steel as it does to the Burrito Brothers/Byrds/Eagles strain of California country rock and today's CMT lineup. Band leader and lead vocalist/guitarist Matt...

Do You Want To Sell Your Rehabs Fast?
That's an obvious question ? we all do! So what is the trick? So much time and money is spent on systems updates, roofs, and structural issues, that many times there's nothing left for what really makes the sale: what your potential buyers see. And more importantly, what they fall in love with.People don't walk into your house, and say, "Wow, they have all new electric. Let's buy." That's just a core expectation. The trick to selling houses fast is to seduce your customers to fall in love when they walk through. It has to feel like a home to them.The two most inexpensive yet surefire ways we have found to create this atmosphere is through color and through decorating.A tastefully decorated house really stands out from the others.
New house builders learned this a long time ago. Why do you suppose they hire interior decorators? But they have the advantage of creating one masterpiece to sell many. Rehabbers don't have that luxury. But we discovered that a house can be "staged" to...

Playing the Health Odds
If every time we did something that would bring eventual harm to ourselves, to society or to the environment, we were given a convincing jolt of electric shock, most problems facing humanity would be almost instantly solved.
But that's not the way things are.
Other than sticking our hand in a fire or falling off a cliff, or similar easy lessons in living, most choices require intelligent foresight, a measure of potential consequences perhaps far into the future.
Therein lies our problem.
We like to cheat, are lazy, pleasure-for-the-moment driven, too clever with alibis and excuses and particularly good at self-justification.
We continue whatever suits our fancy until eventually we are sufficiently harmed, or the contrary evidence becomes so overwhelming that we change due to the brute force of public opinion.
Although cigarette smoking, industrial smog, water pollution, radiation, toxic gases...

RS Hydro Installs Nivus and Siemens Electromagnetic Flow Meters for Sludge Measurement
(ContentDesk) July 13, 2006 -- RS Hydro has recently won a contract to supply and install various flow meters for the measurement of sludge with very high solid content on an industrial application within the UK. Field engineers attended site and concluded that the Nivus OCM EM and Siemens 911/E would be the most suitable flow metering equipment.The 911/E Siemens electromagnetic flow meter is especially suited to the measurement of slurries. The power behind the Sitrans 911/E means that it is ideal for flow velocities up to 12m/s, and the minimum conductivity required is just 0.01mS/cm with a pulsed alternating field of 3mS/cm with a pulsed constant field. This rests upon Faraday's Law of Induction, in which an electric voltage is induced in a conductor moving through a magnetic field.The complete flow meter is comprised of the flow sensor and the corresponding transmitter....

BUDGETING YOUR LOG HOME: Creating a checklist
If you've read my first article, BUDGETING YOUR LOG HOME: Where do you start?, you've got a very basic overview of the process. However, there are still a number of questions I'd like to address. Again, many of these questions will come up if you build any custom home, but I'd venture to guess the log home owners find themselves deeper in the decision-making process than someone dealing with a custom builder. After all, the differences become apparent immediately as the owners have to find their own manufacturer.Unless you have a pocket full of cash, you're going to have to follow the construction loan mindset throughout the budgeting process. I plan to devote a whole article to the construction loan, but this pursuit will serve as a preliminary step before going to the bank.The biggest part of your budget will be the purchase of the land.
With today's new construction market - especially in New Jersey - the raw land constitutes 30%-40% of the total project (of course, in other...

New Events From Ford: The Escape Hybrid Technology Clinic
Hybrid vehicles are considered as the best cars nowadays. It combines the technical advantages of conventional vehicles and the economical features of electric vehicles. The electric motor of a hybrid vehicle assists the car's engine for a much better performance and reliability. As a result, hybrid vehicles come up with a bunch of benefits such as low emission, less air pollution, fuel efficiency, advanced aerodynamics, as well as cheaper running costs. Yet, these are just a few of the advantages that hybrid vehicles have.
But not all of us are aware of these benefits produced by hybrid vehicles.
Most places around the world especially here in our country have the so called "clean air program" that has been implemented to save the environment from air pollution. In accordance with this, hybrid engineers of the Ford Motor Company along with some representatives from Portland, Oregon will conduct a technology clinic for the Ford Escape Hybrid and for

It?s Not Your Father?s Climbing Frame!
When I was growing up, the metal jungle gym in our backyard made ours the most popular play spot in the neighbourhood. Built of tubular steel in bright orange and yellow, it was a honeycombed hexagon that provided days of climbing, swinging and acrobatic fun. These days, the jungle gym is called a climbing frame, and it may be made of wood, metal or plastic, but the fun factor remains the same. If you have young children, a climbing frame in the...
